This is a orange paired grey sandstone onitl beautifully and locally on in the main dark streaks a mass of less attendance of smaller limestone pettles. This Hot (ultimately) or in many i state. Man clay here is 1/2 seck by faulting at least once, this onfe is in the most basement one. This followed shortly that redded impure limestone with almost dark redded no shale faulting, and the more sandstone like the Lelas. This upper zone is about 8 feet thick, the then redded one about li. 40 feet, while the lower sandstone is probably 20 feet thick. All the bearing beds are more or less conglomeratic. All of these pettles appear to be small enough to be wave crushed, one is not cliff dropped material. Tops they get about 68 feet. There are also some longer horizons in one, up to 15 inches long.
